Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.96-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 459351

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpio: rockchip: fix generic IRQ chip
 leak on remove The driver allocates domain generic chips using irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() during
 probe. However, on driver remove/teardown, the generic chips are not automatically freed when the IRQ
 domain is removed because the domain flags do not include IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC. This causes both the
 domain generic chips structure and the associated generic chips to be leaked. Additionally, the generic
 chips remain on the global gc_list and may later be visited by generic IRQ chip suspend, resume, or
 shutdown callbacks after the GPIO bank has been removed, potentially resulting in a use-after-free and
 kernel crash. Fix the resource leak by explicitly calling irq_domain_remove_generic_chips() before
 removing the IRQ domain in rockchip_gpio_remove(). (CVE-2026-53226)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.96-1 or later.
